(4 posts)Although I don't agree with a lot of stuff here, I can agree wholeheartly about this. The corporations really rule the world. I became enlightened a few months ago about something that most of you have known a long time: all of our interactions with other countries has nothing to do about "democracy" or freedom or other such b.s. It's totally connected to how much those other countries lets capitalism get it's claws into their sociaty. I puzzled over why we hated Venezuela or Cuba and yet tolerated China. They were all communist countries so why the difference? Then it hit me: it had nothing to do with their form of government but how willing they were to welcome in capitalist corporations. It all made sense then. It explained clearly why we treat countries the way we do. Those countries that we punish or make war with are the same ones that refuse to let in our corporate masters. I'm starting to suspect our sanctions and subsequent conflict with North Korea has something to do with this as well. They don't want our capitalism and that's why they must fall.
